I wouldn't say it's so much envy or scope insensitivity. This is more of a gut reaction people have than anything purely rational. I've been studying this topic ("hatred of life extension") for a few years now. I would say it is caused by thousands of years of cultural evolution during which the only guardrail we had to keep our sanity was acceptance and faith. There are interesting positive feedback loops for this set of beliefs, coming all the way from Genesis 3:24 and The Epic of Gilgamesh (which one was first?), plus more modern incarnations like all our vampire movies. This case of cultural resonance has nothing to degrade it because nobody has lived long enough to prove that life extension is a good or a bad thing, but acceptance of mortality is a cheap and effective remedy to existential dread.
